What does DOODLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To draw or scribble absent-mindedly, usually while thinking about something else or listening rather than looking at the page.
People doodle almost without noticing, sketching loops, faces, or patterns in the margin of a notebook while their attention is really on a phone call, a lecture, or their own thoughts. The small drawing that comes out of this habit is itself named a doodle, so the same word names both the act and the little picture it produces. To doodle is generally seen as harmless, and some studies even claim it helps concentration rather than breaking it.
How DOODLE is used
Everyday and informal; used for idle, unplanned drawing rather than serious or deliberate art.
